I completely agree.WH should be conducting twice daily Press conferences - even if they limit questions.

I think this cuts against your argument, gb.Well it's pretty well known Trump is a germophode. And he travels and speaks to the press. So you should be able to figure this out on your own.
Probably why he's the healthiest POTUS of all time!Well it's pretty well known Trump is a germophode. And he travels and speaks to the press. So you should be able to figure this out on your own.
Might be easy for YOU to believe. Very difficult for me to believe it but thanks.I think this cuts against your argument, gb.
As a germophobe it si very easy to think that Trump thinks the press would be out to get him.
Same as day one. Just the curtains are swept aside.File this under: "We knew that already"
But, the President is mentally unfit to lead:
Back to quarantine.Why did he leave the news conference? Did he say?
The joys of being a republic with "State's rights"It's quite shocking. It looks like this virus is going to be managed by 50 different states. So essentially 50 countries making their own rules because there is nothing coming from the federal government.

It's almost like the United States has no President - we are a rudderless ship heading for a major disaster. Good luck everyone!

More like really, really vagueNostra was wrong more often than right.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the most germaphobic prez ever was at the helm for this kind of situation?Back to quarantine.

Trump is making it a priority to assign blame for the virus elsewhere.Kevin McCarty (GOP Leader) twitter - "Everything you need to know about the Chinese coronavirus can be found on one, regularly-updated website:"
Weird that two days in a row GOP leaders referred to it as the Wuhan or Chinese virus. I wonder why.
You can even “other” a virus apparently. They’re political through and through.Kevin McCarty (GOP Leader) twitter - "Everything you need to know about the Chinese coronavirus can be found on one, regularly-updated website:"

I'm surprised he isn't calling it the Biden virus.Trump is making it a priority to assign blame for the virus elsewhere.
The reality is, nobody cares where it came from, they want to know what the government is doing about it now.
not true...he's going to play this into his hard immigration stance for the election and turn it against chinese people...Trump is making it a priority to assign blame for the virus elsewhere.

Not weird. Not two days in a row. Most countries called it Wuhan Virus. Many viruses are named after locations.Kevin McCarty (GOP Leader) twitter - "Everything you need to know about the Chinese coronavirus can be found on one, regularly-updated website:"

I've been to Influenza, Scotland twice this year already.They are?
West Nile, Marburg, Spanish Flu.... But hey, maybe you guys are right, maybe Trump is calling it Wuhan Virus for the sole purpose of unfairly blaming China.They are?
Using the name “wuhan virus” is not in my top ten things to criticize Trump over. It’s pretty far down the list actually.West Nile, Marburg, Spanish Flu.... But hey, maybe you guys are right, maybe Trump is calling it Wuhan Virus for the sole purpose of unfairly blaming China.
The thing that seems funny to me is that there are so many things to legitimately criticize Trump for, people are going after the name "Wuhan Virus"?
While it’s tempting to just hit the like button or say ditto - this administration does something astonishingly stupid every single day - they don’t have a monopoly on pandemic ineptitude. For every ROK there have been twenty Italy/UK -type responses.just flew from Florida to Detroit and back in the last 5 days, not as many masks as I thought.
I have no confidence in this admin to do anything.....
I think the concern is that so much effort is being put into minimization, which can be achieved with a certain audience if paired with xenophobia (hey it’s not our virus, other people did this to me). It’s a transparent calculation to add the “Chinese” modifier. More ‘us versus them.’West Nile, Marburg, Spanish Flu....

I don't agree but at least this is a little more reasonable than the original few posts. Thank you.I think the concern is that so much effort is being put into minimization, which can be achieved with a certain audience if paired with xenophobia (hey it’s not our virus, other people did this to me).

This is an extension of the legitimate criticism. He is making public health decisions based on his own personal public relations calculus.
[bannable joke]The guy at CPAC had contact with Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert, Ted Cruz and Mark Meadows among others. Gaetz self-quarantined ON Air Force One.
How did Gaetz get exposed? He has been employing overly cautious steps for weeks. Surely he wasn't shaking hands WHILE wearing a gas mask? Just confused as to how such a smart guy could have exposed himself to this.The guy at CPAC had contact with Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert, Ted Cruz and Mark Meadows among others.

We don’t need the virus to diminish right now. We need it to spread. I wrote this in the other thread and I am dead serious.
Many many more people need to get the virus and they need to recover from the virus. That will be the only way to determine what the actual mortality and recovery rates are. I personally suspect they are much lower (and higher) than suspected. Once that happens everyone calms down, no more quarantines or cancellation of large gatherings and the economy recovers.
So to be clear, you want a rosy future in which everyone catches this, gets immune to it, and life goes on.No it isn’t and you really misunderstood what I wrote. I don’t want anyone to die. I wanted a lot of people to get a MILD case of the virus and recover so that we could know the mortality rate which many experts suspect is extremely low, and that would stop the panic and actually save lives. And none of it had anything to do with political reasons. But I know you know this already; why are you making false attacks?
